Abstract Eleven wheat cultivars were evaluated at 10-day intervals, beginning from anthesis, under irrigated and drought stress conditions during 2006-2007. The effects of irrigation, genotype and date of harvest were significant for most of the studied characters. Water deficit decreased pre-and post-anthesis assimilation rate, grain weight per spike, grain number per spike and 1000 grain wei...

drought stress is considered as one of the main important factors reducing field crop yield, thus leading researchers to study the related physiological characteristics may reduce drought effects. this experiment was conducted in research farm of seed and plant improvement institute (spii) in karadj, arak and jolgeh rokh for three cropping seasons (2008-2011) to evaluate drought tolerance of br...

to compare the yield and yield components of 10 promising dryland barley genotypes with a conventional cultivar (reihan03), a field experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design in miyaneh region in the 2010-2011 growing season, and their agronomic and morphological traits were recorded. genotypes were significantly different in terms of all the studied traits, and genoty...

introduction barely (hordeum vulgare) is the fourth most important cereal after wheat, corn and rice. regarding the role of breeding to increase barley grain yield a large number of studies have been done in different countries. however, a few studies have been performed across golestan province, in iran. therefore, this study was conducted to know what barley traits have changed with grain yie...

in order to investigate the indices of drought tolerance, correlation coefficient and path analysis at deficit irrigation and nitrogen experiment, this experiment was conducted as split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications during 2000-2003 for wheat at maragheh agricultural research station of dari. the treatments were included four levels of defici...

In order to study the genetic conditions of some agronomic traits in wheat, a cross was made between Gaspard and Kharchia varieties. F2, F3 and F4 progenies with parents were evaluated under drought conditions. Three-parameter model [m d h] considered as the best fit for number of fertile tiller and flag leaf length using generations mean analysis method. For number of grain per spike and main ...

in order to determine the optimum planting date under deficit output area, this research was carried-out in 2010-11 and 2011-12 cropping seasons, in split-plot arrangement, using complete randomized block design with three replications in khuzestan agriculture and natural resource research center. main and sub plots were consisted of four planting dates (oct. 27 with 10 days interval) and four ...
